united states never ratified that, and the bush administration basically walked away from it. can you give some assurance that whatever commitment or promise or gold the president makes at copenhagen will also never be ratified, never be approved by congress? congressional debate is intense at this time, and there is no indication that you have the 60 votes in the senate that would be required to pass crime legislation. how concerned are you about that? >> looking at what, for example, prime minister rasmussen this tank, realistically, where can we set up the copenhagen framework path forward, i would i even say it is an end point, it is the beginning of a treaty and a verification and those things. but in the end, i think, what the prime minister is saying is that we are not going to expect copenhagen to have a treaty that the country's go back to their respective legislatures and say, ok, this is what we need ratified. in the and -- end, several countries did make commitments, others did not meet them. in the end, a treaty is a beginning, and then you have to follow through.
